Paint Stripping tips
Just recently moved in to an old city apartment built in 1916. Not Golden Era, but it has it's touches. I'm trying to restore at, as some joker with a power paint sprayer completely painted over lots of wonderful features. My first project is stripping the paint off the fully functioning transom...- jayem

Old Hollywood Stars: Before and After
I know I may be the only person who thinks this... but I've never thought of Audrey Hepburn as pretty. Cute, maybe, but not pretty. -
Rave 'n' Rant
Pantene Ice Shine Shampoo & Conditioner I have long, thick, dark hair, and after using this product it leaves my hair wonderfully soft and glossy. If you go to Wal-Mart, huge bottles are only $5 each and they last a good month or two. Since I've been using this, I've gotten tons of compliments... -
Oldest person you ever knew?
Eh, I don't know if that's true, since the worlds oldest woman ever documented was 122 yrs old. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment- jayem

Oldest person you ever knew?
I have no idea, and I think it would be especially hard since most nuns change their real names upon entering the convent. If she was lying, it would all but add to her craziness :)- jayem

Oldest person you ever knew?
Both my great-grandmothers on my dads side of the family (Munno and Nana) lived past 100. My Nana (my grandmothers mom) was born in 1899 and my Munno (my grandfathers mom) was born 1898. They died in 1999 and 1998, respectively. I was close with both of them and really appreciated the stories...- jayem

Oil Cleansing Method
Has anybody tried pumpkin seed oil? I saw it today while browsing for safflower seed oil and was very curious since pumpkin seeds are very good for the skin when eaten. -
anyone wear grey hair?
I don't have gray hairs (yet...) but when I do get them, I plan to not dye over. I have nothing against women who dye their grays, but to me... aging naturally is part of beauty. I hope my hair will salt & pepper... and it most likely will since I have raven dark hair with a reddish tint. As... -
Combination Skin Nightmare!
Genetics do play a role, for sure. My mom has very oily skin and had terrible acne as a teen, but very little adult acne. My dad had the sensitive and fair Irish skin and never had a blemish, but if he didn't slather lotion on at night his skin would crack because it was so dry. In my teens, I... -
Combination Skin Nightmare!
I have that dreaded combination skin with a sensitive acne-prone T-zone. Ladies, I have tried everything, including Pro-Activ. My diet is pretty fair... I do drink a ton of coffee, but I also drink a lot of water. I rarely eat greasy foods and I may have some pop once a month or so. Sleep is an... -

My Mother Says...
My mom doesn't mind at all. I don't really dress vintage everyday, but when I do she compliments it, usually saying "The classics never go out of style!" I hate the fashion now of recycled late 80s, early 90s fashion. I wore neon windbreakers when I was 10, I'm not wearing them again. And... -
Quirky things that people have done 'in the day' that people would gasp at today..
My aunt was the second youngest of 8. One family trip, she was accidentally left behind in the hotel room. They figured this out after about an hour. When my grandparents drove back to pick her up, the concierge just chuckled and my aunt was sitting peacefully in the room watching TV. If...- jayem

Lush Life
So, me and my friend are Lushheads. We actually became friends with the workers and can spend up to hours chatting with them. I swear by their Catastrophe Cosmetic facial mask. I use it every night (mixed with Love Lettuce) on my cheeks. ALWAYS ASK FOR SAMPLES!!! They will be more than happy... -
The History/Evolution of Birth Control *Ladies Only*
What a wonderful topic! I went to Catholic schooling from P3 to 12th grade. During my senior year, my religion teacher got married and announced to all of us that she detested birth control because of the church's iffy feelings about it and that the rhythm and prayer method (what we jokingly...- jayem

Decline of the Blue Box
Maybe the Chicago suburbs are unlike the rest of the US... but there's still plenty around here. In fact, there's one right down the street from me.... and about 10 more in my immediate neighborhood. My friend refuses to put bills in her home mailbox because she was taught it's not the job...- jayem

The fall of the phone
Well, I enjoy my cell phone. I guess I'm one of the few people in this world who still refuse to talk on it (or god forbid, text) while driving. Is something SO important that you must talk about it right that instant? What I hate most of all are the people in the grocery store who stand there...- jayem

Halloween costumes!
My birthday is Halloween. It's my own personal tradition that I HAVE to be something gory/scary. After all, Halloween isn't a nice little warm and fuzzy day ;) Last year, I was a beheaded Marie Antoinette. This year, I'm doing something like this picture...- jayem

You know that summer really IS over when...
*Wearing strappy sandals or even flip flops looks asinine. *The sky is pitch black driving to work at 5.45 AM. *The lawn is one giant mess of orange, red, and brown leaves. *It's okay to wear that faux fur lined jacket. *It stops being too cold in the class rooms and starts becoming too hot...- jayem

What's your best beauty/household tip?
Has anybody posted the aspirin face mask yet? I've been using this recently to clear up some blemishes, and it works magically. Just mix two packets BC aspirin powder and some honey (or aloe vera) and apply to a clean face. Let sit for 15mins and then wash off. If you want a deeper, scrub-like...
